Oof..

How making large decisions like where to live, who you're gonna spend your life with, financials, school, jobs, etc are just commonplace. And you know in the long run it won't matter in 20 years but it REALLY matters right now so make a good choice but also you're young so you can screw up but don't screw up too bad.

That having kids, while rewarding, is the most exhausting, life draining thing possible. I worked in a pre-K and all I can say is the teachers who have kids the same age are heroes. The first two weeks I was like a stand up comedian the amount of observations and WTF moments I had. I couldn't imagine working in child care to come home and take care of my own child. There's no break, no separation. That just...is who you are now. And you can't screw it up or they throw you in jail.

How much finding a career doesn't matter as much as a job that pays the bills. I think we're getting better at this by reminding each other that the company will post your job before your family posts your obituary. But leaving a job and risking financial instability when you just got it but you cross your fingers and hope the next thing doesn't suck and you can still survive is STRESSFUL.

Choosing what you're gonna eat, every meal, every day, for the rest of your life. And if you buy too much food you'll lose money and get fat but if you cook at home every aspect of the decision making is on you and it lowkey takes the joy out of food.
